Condolences to Apollo, the popular https://thenewstack.io/aether-a-decentralized-reddit-with-self-moderation-and-privacy/ app, which will be shutting down June 30. The https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/144f6xm/apollo_will_close_down_on_june_30th_reddits/, of course, but essentially app developer https://github.com/christianselig blamed Reddit’s API price increase.
